AI-assisted development is now the norm - 78% of survey respondents currently use AI in software development or plan to in the next two years, up from 64% in 2023. That's strange, measuring developer productivity has always been so easy in the past

In modern software development, immutability is a powerful concept. "I can't change, I can't change. But I'm here in my mold."

In recent times, open-source developers have been met with an uptick in receiving debatable or, in some cases, outright bogus CVE reports filed for their projects without confirmation. Are read-only bugs still bugs?
Posted not so much for this particular incident, but how it seems to be an example of a new attack on projects: file a security report on them. Like swatting, but for code.

Russian hackers who broke into Microsoft's systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers, the tech giant said on Thursday, around six months after it first disclosed the intrusion. That's Microsoft's job

They must have used Linux, otherwise MS would have immediately known about them.

The decision to withhold Apple Intelligence from EU countries amounts to a “stunning open declaration” of anticompetitive behavior, according to the bloc’s vice-president and competition regulator Margrethe Vestager. They were looking forward to suing Apple for anti-competitive behavior for shipping Apple Intelligence

"We decided not to compete in this market."
"That is anti-competitive!"
"What?"
|
|
|
|
|
"If you don't compete in this market then who will WE compete against?"
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

The list of withheld new "features" is telling as two of them are aimed specifically at the Apple market as Android has had screenshare and mirroring for a while. This sounds more like Apple is throwing a fit instead.

In other news, the EU parliament passes a law allowing forced sales in the EU of any product elsewhere, under penalty of law.
I forsee that the next step will be Apple leaving the EU market completely.

DevOps, like many trendy technology terms, has gone from the peak of optimism to the depths of exhaustion. It's not dead, it's just busy in a Scrum meeting

Don't look now, but the era of low-code/no-code development may be passing us by faster than we ever dreamt it would. Have no fear. Someone will re-re-re-re-invent it shortly
